Porter Pickup Customer Reviews

Nickname: That one guy (Boise, ID)

Pickup Model: Porter Classic Humbucker

Position: Bridge

Comments: From smooth tones to deep growl, my Porter Pickup is way, WAY above my stock humbucker in my Custom Deluxe Ibanez. I am now able to play in the 1-2 pickup position as the new tone is just stellar. I wasn't able to play my clean channel through my old humbucker, but now....pure pleasure. The distortion growl is more like a teeth baring snarl from a rabid Doberman- ready to melt the face off who ever dares stand in my way. Thanks Porter Pickups!

Pickup Model: Porter Classic Humbucker

Position: Neck

Comments: This pickup has a very smooth tone. Perfect for clean blues and some jazz with the turn of a tone knob. Mixed with some delay, reverb and a light distortion, you have a recipe for an amazing tone. Highly recommended!

Pickup Model: Porter Clear Humbucker

Position: Bridge

Comments: This pickup has such an amazing output for soloing. My leads cut through the air and have the power they should. I also use the Porter Boost pedal with these and the result is amazing

Nickname: CC (Millington, TN)

Pickup Model: Porter Classic Humbucker

Position: Neck

Comments: I installed the pickup in a customized Telecaster matched with a Seymour Duncan Little '59 and WHOO... The tone was AMAZING! It cuts through the mix perfectly and with the simple turn of the Tone knob you can get any sound you want out of it. I love my new Porter Pickup and can't wait to get another! If you don't have one i recommend getting one!

Nickname: Trigger Itch (Nampa, ID)

Pickup Model: Porter Classic P90

Position: Bridge

Comments: I believe this was Brian's first P-90 wind and I must say he nailed it. This pickup has the standard wind(about 9k).I threw this into the bridge position of a Gibson Les Paul Special faded to replace the stock p'up. This pickup is very well balanced and clear, not cleaner, clear. Excellent note definition. About the same amount of gain as the stock p'up. The stock p'up had a problem of getting rather boomy and muddy in the low end. Brian's P-90 fixed this plus gave me even more clarity and definition through out the tonal range. Plus excellent mids. If you have a guitar with a P-90 in it, I highly recommend one of Brian's pickups.

Nickname: ACI (Memphis, TN)

Pickup Model: Porter Classic Humbucker

Position: Neck

Comments: Just installed this pickup and have fallen in love! This pickup has managed as to catch the warm vintage but with add modern accents. I can't wait to get a second pickup for the bridge! I put it in my Gibson SG running through a Fender Bassman blackface. GREAT TONE!!!

Nickname: downerczx (Anchorage, AK)

Pickup Model: Porter Overdrive Humbucker

Position: Bridge

Comments: I replaced the stock "d****n designed" humbucker on my Jackson bridge pickup. Previously, my tone was muddy and sweep arpeggios were very messy sounding. After installing the Porter pickup, I noticed that my notes were more clear and individually articulate. The tone was very good. The pickup seems to have a little more mids and lows than heavy and highs. I've enjoyed my playing much more with this pickup. I hope to replace the neck one someday as well with a Porter pickup!
